Liverpool city’s largest investment fund will unlock over 520,000 square feet of office and space for light industry, helping to create at least 2,800 jobs. The £2bn fund is part of a new Liverpool investment strategy announced on May 19, 2026.
The fund will invest in six projects, including two in the Liverpool Central Business District, where 250,000 square feet of premium-quality office space will be developed and 2,000 jobs will be created. Developments in St Helens and Runcorn will also receive funding.
Steve Rotheram, Liverpool City Region mayor, said,
“For too long, regions like ours have been expected to transform local economies with short-term funding and one hand tied behind our back. This £2bn Investment Fund is about changing that, giving us the ability to really back ourselves, think long-term and invest in the projects that can genuinely change people’s lives. “
The government supports the commercial development of Liverpool. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said that the investment fund will help bring historic buildings back into use and drive growth in the region
Investment will also be made in Liverpool’s infrastructure, with major transport improvements including four new rail stations and a rapid transport system. The city will fast-track housing development with 64,000 new homes built for growing communities.
